    Fitted hub spacers on to the Defender this evening

    No, Its not what you think

    The spare wheel carriers on my tray were not designed for the ZU wheels, and in fact the Wolf rims needed to be mounted backwards to fit. A set of Ebay hub spacers later and the world is good.

    For what its worth, I would not put these near anything that was load bearing, the spigot on the front face that is meant to make them hub centric has the same inside diameter as the wheel bore so the wheels don't mate to the spacer anyway.

    Just before the spacers are illegal brigade chime in... 3,2,1...

    Are you going to bolt the spacer into the carrier with additional bolts?
    Cheers

    It's actually pretty secure with just one and the outside of the spacer resting on the other bolt. I'll see how it goes, if I need to I can drill a second hole through the carrier. I mostly wanted to fit it up and see if they would work before I get excited and order a 6th ZU wheel.
